I'm sorry but this kind of shit really fucking pisses me off. What in the sam hell is wrong with people today - kids especially. Firstly kids have no respect for anything or anyone and while I'm sure the same was said about my generation at one time but honestly? We weren't killing people and getting away with it because there was no video evidence were we? I mean jeasus christ its shit like this that makes me fear for what mind of things my daughter is going to have to endure. I'm just glad they caught the little bastards. There's something to be said about kids who do adult crimes doing adult time but they'll probably get out of jail when they turn 18 and be right back out there.

The sad reality of this situation is it's only going to get worse, until we as citizens stop letting others tell us how to chastize our childen, and we start raising them like our great grandparents raised their children!

Back then you couldn't even think about disrespecting your elders. Now all the youth of today have to say is their going to call the county on you, and they pretty much get away with murder!

Im with you. The government has systematically taken our parental power away. Im now being told i cant smack my child in public here in the uk. There was 1 case where an off duty police officer followed a parent home after they witnessed them smacking their child in order to bring a charge to that same parent. Teachers cant tell our kids much either. As parents some of us must take responsibility. Back our teachers to discipline our kids not go to war with them because our childrens ipod got confiscated.. The break up of the family was always the end game. Step by step each brick is placed.

Despite what ive said i do acknowledge there are and have been some woeful parents teachers etc that abuse their power.....its not them im supporting in any way shape of form

Yeah, crime used to be something that people feared BECAUSE of the punishment. When people were hanged etc. But now criminals know they'll get off with a light sentence, even if they take someone's life.

I spank my two boys, and the same parents that look down on spanking kids also wonder why my two children are so well behaved. I grew up in a house where even talking and interrupting an adult was disrespectful. The govt needs to back off and let parents be parents or more things like this will keep happening. What is up with today's youth? Respect your elders kids they've earned it!!!
